How her approaches translate to online work
Danielle commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and choose actions that match their values, which can be useful for anxiety and panic. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on testing unhelpful thoughts and practicing specific behavioral changes to reduce symptoms like panic attacks.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Danielle will work with each person to identify goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. She aims to match techniques to the client’s needs, preferences, and daily life demands rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
